A non-sterile assembly of implantable devices designed for the stabilization of fractured/surgically-cut bones of the limbs (long bones), their appendages (hands, feet), pelvis, craniomaxillofacial bones, and/or for limb-joint fusion. It typically consists of a set of bone fixation plates, screws, wires, and pins made of materials that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (e.g., implant grade metal, surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). It may also include instruments for the attachment of the implants such as screwdrivers or drills. This device is intended to be sterilized prior to use.

Orthopaedic fixation plate, non-bioabsorbable, non-sterile

A non-sterile implantable sheet of firm material intended to be attached to fractured long bone fragments with screws to bridge and stabilize the fracture gap, and shield the site from stress as the bone heals; the material is not chemically degraded or absorbed by natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). The device is typically used to treat traumatic or pathological orthopaedic fractures; it may also be used to temporarily augment bone following a lengthening procedure, or for arthrodesis (joint fusion). This device is intended to be sterilized prior to use.
